Catalytic reductive reactions are essential for laboratory and industrial-scale organic synthesis. However, the nowadays trend is the development of new, progressively more complicated reducing systems, which hinders the application of such highly efficie

Here, we describe the formation and use of silyl cobalt (III) dihydride complexes as powerful catalysts for the hydrosilylation of a variety of imines starting from a low-valent well-defined cobalt (I) complex. The reaction is efficient at low catalyst loadings with a diverse range of imines bearing various protecting groups, as well as aliphatic ketimines and quinoline. Kinetics, DFT calculations, NMR spectroscopic studies, deuteration experiments, and X-ray diffraction analyses allowed us to propose a catalytic cycle based on silyl dihydrocobalt (III) complexes performing a hydrocobaltation.

A systematic study of the phosphine additives influence on the activity of a ruthenium catalyst in reductive amination without an external hydrogen source was carried out. [CymeneRuCl2]2 was used as a reference catalyst, and a broad set of phosphines including Alk3P, Alk2ArP, Ar3P and X3P was screened. Three complexes of general formula (Cymene)RuCl2PR3 were isolated in a pure form, and their catalytic activity was compared with the in situ generated complexes. Nonhindered triarylphosphines with electron acceptor groups were found to be the most perspective activating agents, increasing the activity of the catalyst approx. six times, Alk2ArP ligands have less noticeable influence, while trialkylphosphines strongly deactivate the ruthenium catalyst.
